Practicing resurrection, to invoke Wendell Berry’s poem, involves the interplay of experience and witness. We can “taste and see” God’s presence in moments of new life and creative transformation, but often these moments are inspired by the testimony of others. Testimony or witness can come from a variety of sources: theological reflection, others’ narratives of their experiences, sermons, poetry, art, encounter with the non-human world, and music. Theological reflection, at its best, joins vision with the promise that we can experience that theological vision in everyday life.
